Community Members

There will be two
types of community members: The Community Leaders and Community Members (All
Community Leaders will also be community Members, but not all Community Members
will be Community Leaders)

Community Leaders

Community Leaders will be the
leaders of the community, they must be willing to live as examples to all
the members of the community and place the needs of the community above
their own

The primary concern of
Community Leaders must be the well being and effectiveness of the entire
community.

Community Leaders must be
committed to upholding the Community Principles at all times in their
personal and community lives.

Community leaders will not
necessarily be skilled in any area, though some certainly will be.

It will be preferable that
majority of the community leaders are made up from South African citizens,
though considering the diversification of the world this will not be
strictly enforced.

Community leaders will need
to be skilled communicators and will need to remain objective in all
matters.

The leaders will practice
self regulation amongst themselves, though an external overseer
organisation will evaluate the leaders annually.

The community leaders will
not have any form of power greater than any other community member - their
roles will be simply as guides, observers and organisers. These roles can
be likened to the roles that elders have in tightknit communities.

Community members

People will be interviewed
from all over South Africa.

The only criteria they must
fulfill is the desire to be part of the project

The sourcing of members must
be an empowering and objective process - language cannot be allowed to be
a barrier in sharing the details of the project so it is vital that
skilled communicators be the interviewers. Any member signing up must have
a complete understanding of the nature of the project and what would be
expected of them.

Families will be welcome, so
long as both guardians understand and accept the nature of the project and
desire to be part of it.

The project will need to
consist of a diverse membership in order to effectively reflect the
current nature of society as well as to test whether the proposed
solutions will be effective for any person from any background.

The selection process will be
strict in terms of requiring that applicants be willing to commit
absolutely to the principles of the community - as once in the community
they will be expected to honour that commitment (obviously within the
consideration that there will be an adjustment period where everyone will
make mistakes).

Upon arrival, there will be
certain training requirements for every member:

Vocabulary assessment - in
order to determine whether a member requires any educational support

Parenting training

Basic animal education (each
member will be expected to at the very least be familiar with the various
animal natures they will come into contact with so as to prevent any
abuse stemming from ignorance)

Basic vegetable gardening
training

Community guidelines
training (learning how all the different systems and structures function
including voting, food production, electricity production, how the
community principles are practically lived, etc

After completing all of the
above, the new member will be given a number of careers to choose from,
based on the current requirements of the community

Each member will have free
choice in choosing their career (based on the requirements of the
community) and will be able to choose a different career. Members will be
encouraged to objectively assess themselves to determine where their
natural skills are.
